Ye Cheng strode out of the coffee shop and let out a long breath.

Ha, there are so many scumbags in the world, I'll go after a dozen of them!

She looked down at her flat shoes. Ever since she started dating Cheng Yuan, who was 168cm tall, her high heels had been left to gather dust in a corner because she wanted to protect the self-esteem of this short man.

Now look what's happened! It turns out the Cheng family had been treating her as a backup plan all along, and on the very day they got their marriage certificate, they actually called off the engagement.

She thought about the argument that had just happened, and then burst out laughing at herself.

This loveless marriage, which was neither beautiful nor tragic, almost cost her everything!

Now, I've saved some money in my purse.

I just don't know how to explain this to my mother when I get back.

After two months of negotiations, I was about to lose money when I finally sold the product, and now I'm back to square one. It's frustrating (but also exciting)!

Scumbags come and go, but Ye Cheng remains a constant.

Whether she's happy or depressed, Ye Cheng does the same thing.

eat!

Nothing brings a greater sense of security than a full stomach.

After eating, I'll work hard to move bricks and earn money.

To hell with those scumbags!

Who knows, maybe one day God will be in a good mood and just give her a handsome guy!

Yes, I'm talking about in dreams.

Dreams have everything!

The area around the Civil Affairs Bureau is lined with shops, offering a variety of cuisines.

Ten minutes later, Ye Cheng was sitting in a beef noodle restaurant.

A huge, fragrant bowl of giant beef noodles sits in front of me.

She couldn't wait to take a big gulp of the noodle soup. The soup was thick, fragrant, and delicious, instantly stimulating her taste buds.

Love can wait, but ramen must be eaten while it's hot.

Ye Cheng put all the pleasure and discomfort from before behind her and started slurping her noodles with gusto.

She was enjoying her noodles when the vibration of her phone in her bag interrupted her rhythm.

Ye Cheng took out her phone and saw that it was a call from Grandpa Ji.

A month ago, on her way to her part-time job after get off work, Ye Cheng encountered Grandpa Ji, who had fallen and lost consciousness. Passersby were temporarily blinded. She called 120 and took the old man to the hospital. She then prepaid 1,000 yuan for hospitalization and left her phone number before rushing off to work.

Ye Cheng never dreamed that God would be chasing after her and bestowing upon her handsome men!

And they're the wealthy kind!

Yes, the gears of fate have begun to turn!

"Chengcheng, it's me, Grandpa Ji!" The old man's voice trembled on the phone, sounding like he couldn't contain his excitement.

"You were just jilted, weren't you? Hehe, good riddance! Good riddance! That's great!"

"Um... Grandpa Ji, what are you saying?"

Ye Cheng looked completely bewildered, with a mouthful of unswallowed noodles still in her mouth.

It hasn't been long since this happened, and even Grandpa Ji already knows about it.

The old man even looked gloating.

Being publicly jilted and then cheering about it?

That's really insulting!

Grandpa Ji on the other end of the phone, perhaps overly excited, took a while to catch his breath before continuing:

"Chengcheng, Grandpa Ji saw it all at the coffee shop. Didn't you just get dumped by your fiancé? Chengcheng, where are you now?"

The old man chased after him from the coffee shop with great excitement, but then he couldn't find him anymore.

Ye Cheng paused for a moment, swallowed the noodles, and chuckled:

"What coffee shop? Grandpa Ji, you've mistaken me for someone else. I'm eating noodles at a noodle shop..."

Ye Cheng simply pretended to be stupid; no matter what, she still had to save face.

Grandpa Ji interrupted Ye Cheng abruptly, feigning anger, and said:

"Chengcheng, Grandpa Ji has excellent eyesight. You made the right decision to annul the engagement, and it was timely. In fact, I should thank the man!"

"Um, Grandpa Ji, I..."

Grandpa Ji interrupted Ye Cheng again: "Chengcheng, do you remember when I told you about my grandson who can't find a girlfriend?"

Ye Cheng replied blankly, "I remember."

Grandpa Ji found her as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. The moment he saw her, the old man was like he was under a spell, convinced that she was the perfect granddaughter-in-law!

She immediately started matchmaking, saying that she had a 26-year-old grandson who couldn't find a girlfriend and wanted to introduce him to her.

Ye Cheng had just set a date with Cheng Yuan to register their marriage when Grandpa Ji learned that his chosen future granddaughter-in-law was getting married. He was so disappointed that he almost fainted and ended up in the hospital.

"Girl, I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me, but for the past month I've been thinking about this marriage day and night, hoping it wouldn't happen. I never expected that heaven would have eyes and it would actually happen!"

Grandpa Ji chuckled and continued talking to himself:

“My grandson works for a big company, owns a house and a car, and is much better looking than your ex-boyfriend who broke off the engagement. I’ve already told him to wait for you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Chengcheng, go see him now, and after the meeting, the two of you can get your marriage certificate right away.”

Ye Cheng was stunned.

She was dumped by her scumbag boyfriend an hour ago, and now she's about to get married to another man?

It's someone I've never met before.

What day is it today? The old almanac says today is auspicious for weddings, but it doesn't say it's auspicious for changing husbands!

If she hadn't known this Grandpa Ji, she would have definitely thought she had been scammed in Myanmar.

"Um, Grandpa Ji, are you telling me to just get a marriage certificate with your grandson?!"

Ye Cheng let out a burp, feeling a bit undigested.

"But I've never even met your grandson..."

Two seconds after he finished speaking, his phone received a photo from Grandpa Ji.

The screen displays a photo that has been overly beautified.

Ye Cheng scoffed at the photo.

You wouldn't guess that an old man of his age would still be doing these fancy things.

These days, with a little editing and photo editing, even a pig can become a handsome guy.

Anyone who hasn't seen the person in the photos is just a fake.

A man who works for a big company, owns a house and a car, and is handsome—why wouldn't he be able to find a girlfriend?

Who would believe it if I told you?

The old man is so eager to match her with his grandson, so the man must be either ugly or has a physical defect.

The last time we met, she started enthusiastically promoting her grandson, just like that old woman at the alley entrance who tries to set up a marriage for her son with a face full of pockmarks, praising his pockmarks as if they were shining.

This time, she happened to be an older single woman who had just been dumped, so why not hurry up and grab her?

Ye Cheng then thought again that Ye Sheng was getting married soon, and if she didn't move out, she would become an obstacle to her brother's marriage, and she would be kicked out by the mother and son just like before.

Well, it's all about completing the task anyway, so it doesn't matter who I marry.

I got a marriage certificate with Grandpa Ji's grandson, so at least I'll have a place to stay in the future.

Thinking of this, Ye Cheng tentatively asked, "Grandpa Ji, does your grandson agree to us getting a marriage certificate?"

"of course!"

Grandpa Ji gave a resolute answer, then urged:

"Girl, Grandpa Ji is rushing back to the countryside. Trust Grandpa Ji, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau quickly, and you won't regret it!"

After giving his assurances and repeated instructions, the old man hung up the phone.

Ye Cheng put down her phone, composed herself, and quickly devoured the remaining noodles and soup.

Ten minutes later, she returned to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Couples sat on the benches in the rest area outside the door.

Ye Cheng stopped and looked around. Only on the far right bench was a man in black sitting alone with his back to her.

It seems that he is Grandpa Ji's grandson.

Ye Cheng walked straight over and tentatively asked, "Hello, are you Mr. Ji?"

Upon hearing the sound, the man slowly stood up and turned around.

The woman gasped.

There's no such thing as an ugly monster. The man right here is clearly a handsome guy that even a blind person could see!

He has sharp, angular features, fair and smooth skin, and a cool and aloof demeanor.

The man was quite tall, at least 1.88 meters, with a slender and upright figure. He wore a sharp black suit, his hands in his pockets, and stood steadily in the sunlight, radiating the aura of a leading man.

Bathed in the man's glow, Ye Cheng's eyes were filled with affection, and her face radiant with happiness.

Did God really send her a handsome guy in broad daylight?

This face doesn't look like the grandson Grandpa Ji was talking about who can't find a girlfriend at all!

Could it be that I've chosen the wrong person?

"Hiccup~"

Ye Cheng was in a daze when a sudden spasm came over her stomach, and she burped unceremoniously at the handsome man.
